The Green River Killer: How Gary Ridgway Murdered 49 Women and Evaded Police for 20 Years

In the summer of 1982, bodies began appearing along Washington's Green River. Young women—many of them sex workers, many of them runaways—were being strangled and dumped in remote wooded areas around Seattle. By 1984, the death toll had reached over forty. The Green River Task Force assembled. The FBI sent profilers. Even imprisoned serial killer Ted Bundy was consulted for insights. But year after year, the killer remained free. Gary Ridgway, a truck painter from Auburn, was questioned in 1987. He gave police a DNA sample. The technology of the time couldn't match it to the crimes. He was released. For fourteen more years, the case went cold. Then, in 2001, DNA technology advanced. The 1987 sample was retested. It matched four victims. Gary Ridgway was arrested on November 30th, 2001. In 2003, he confessed to forty-eight murders. Later, forty-nine. He claimed the real number was closer to eighty. Tonight, the story of America's most prolific serial killer.

Grant Amato: The Man Who Murdered His Family for a Webcam Model He Never Met

On January 25th, 2019, police arrived at a home in Chuluota, Florida, for a wellness check. Cody Amato, a thirty-one-year-old nurse anaesthetist, hadn't shown up for work—something he'd never done in five years. Inside, they found a scene of horror: Chad Amato, Margaret Amato, and Cody Amato. All three shot execution-style in their own home. One family member was missing: twenty-nine-year-old Grant Amato. As investigators pieced together the case, a disturbing picture emerged. Grant had been fired from his nursing job for stealing drugs. He'd become obsessed with a Bulgarian webcam model named Silvie. He'd stolen over two hundred thousand dollars from his family to pay for her attention. His family tried to help him. They sent him to rehab. They gave him rules. But when his father discovered Grant was still contacting Silvie, he told Grant to leave. Grant's response? He murdered his entire family. Tonight, a story of obsession, deception, and a virtual relationship that turned deadly. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

My mum told me to tell you - Anthony Duke

Anthony Duke, or Tony, is, it's fair to say, a favourite amongst those of us who have gone through this crazy journey over the last almost four years. A man of strong values, strong faith, and the strong silent type. Tony isn't a man to ask for help. He's not one to say if he needs something, he is the one who provides, for himself and others. He is not someone who shares news too often, I believe because he doesn't want to get his or anyone else's hopes up, hopes that he will be coming home sooner than his life sentence will allow. However, he did recently get some news, news he was planning on keeping close to his chest. He had no choice but to tell his mum as he needed her help with getting some information, and once she knew, she in turn told him he should tell me. I'm very grateful she did, because now I know, and so will you—because Tony needs us, even if he doesn't like to ask for it. EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!

Junk Science and the US Justice System - Chris Fabricant

Today I sit down with Chris Fabricant, Director of Strategic Litigation at the Innocence Project and author of Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System. From his early days as a New York public defender to leading the fight against flawed forensic techniques, Fabricant shares his personal journey and the urgent mission behind his work. Together, they dive deep into the controversial world of junk science, with a sharp focus on bite mark analysis, a discredited practice that has contributed to multiple wrongful convictions. Fabricant explains how faulty forensic methods continue to corrupt the justice system, and why science must be held to higher standards in courtrooms across America. As Chris unpacks the troubling history and lasting consequences of forensic pseudoscience, this conversation is a must-listen to help understand how 'Science' isn't always as solid a foundation for truth as one might think.

The Child on Trial

In 1929 Kentucky, a six-year-old boy picked up his father’s shotgun—and changed American legal history. When little Carl Newton Mahan shot and killed eight-year-old Cecil Darnell after a fight over scrap metal, he became the youngest person ever tried for murder in the United States. Reporters packed the Knott County Courthouse as the barefoot child sat at the defence table, playing with a toy car while adults debated whether he should spend life in prison. Convicted of manslaughter and sent to reform school, Carl’s case forced America to confront questions about childhood, morality, and justice that still echo a century later.

Hey Jack, Guess who's free! - Nosakhare Onumonu

The story of Nosakhare Onumonu is nothing short of incredible. As a young man, Nosa’s sister was brutally attacked by her partner—violence that ended when he set her home on fire and left her for dead. That man was arrested and sentenced to prison for his crimes, but the trauma left Nosa riddled with guilt. Why wasn’t he there to protect her? In his mind, he had failed his sister, his niece, and their family. As time went by, Nosa helped his mother nurse his sister back to health while also caring for his niece. But those feelings of guilt only grew stronger. And when his sister was finally back on her feet, he made a decision—he was going to take something back from the man who had hurt his family. He wanted revenge. Of course, the man who had done this was behind bars and would be for many years to come. But Nosa wasn’t willing to wait that long. He embarked on a suicide mission inside prison walls to get to him. And that was just the beginning. His story would take an even more shocking turn when he found himself wrongly convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. Now he is free and finally back home with his family.
